FIFA World Cup Round of 16: Full Fixtures and Qualified Teams

The 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16 picture is taking shape as Switzerland became the latest team to qualify, defeating Algeria 2-0 on Friday in the Round of 32. The win adds Switzerland to 13 already-confirmed knockout teams, with two more Round of 32 matches set to decide the remaining spots. Argentina vs. Cape Verde and Australia vs. Egypt will determine the last two Round of 16 participants. Because the expanded tournament is now in single elimination, each result carries immediate consequences. Confirmed Round of 16 fixtures begin Saturday, July 4, featuring Canada vs. Morocco in Houston and Paraguay vs. France in Philadelphia. Key matchups continue Sunday and Monday, with Portugal vs. Spain on July 6 in Arlington and Switzerland vs. Colombia or Ghana on July 7 in Vancouver.
